   Gotta love a man in a uniform! Don’t know what it is about a uniform, but it makes men look so “manly”. Us ladies do admire the “look”.

   Thanks!

   So, did he have a blood clot in the lung? Was that almost fatal? What is the prognosis & the actual disease? When is he going home? Does he have to be on blood thinners for the rest of his life? the actual details were kind of skipped over in this arc.

   That is absolutely correct. Our forestry services, for every tree removed, 5 are planted. We have more trees here in the US now than we had in Pioneer days.

   We paid ours off so all we have to do is replace the batteries, which we have to send our phones in for because you can no longer change them. We decided that except for a few features, like the camera, flashlight, and an occasional search, plus some text messaging, that they are not worth the money. I also like the calculator. The camera is much better than the flip phone, but the smart phone, unless you do a lot of research. listen to music or use the internet a ton, is not worth the money. I find the email notifications annoying, & have turned that off. Most of the apps are useless to my lifestyle, & you cannot get rid of them. The screens are too small to enjoy watching anything for any length of time. They are like the car companies. No more interchangeable parts & you pay a ridiculous amount of money for a phone.

   I do not care for the minimalist style. I am delighted today to see the beautiful coloring, especially the water colors on the sky. And what the heck is wrong with the script? I find Guy’s style refreshing, blunt & positive. The new writer did the first strip complaining. But the new writers style is what I call lazy drawing. See how fast the strip for the day can be finished. I will follow her to give her a chance for at least a couple of months. But her coloring on the people is just odd. On today’s strip, look at the detail on the creek waters, the roses & sky. Even his printing of the script in different fonts adds to the depth & charm of the strip. The new writer is blah in color, backgrounds & the lack of exciting writing. We will see, but I am jazzed to see the Sunday strip done by Guy.

   Have never seen Nancy wanting to be unambitious. Sad. At least there is something in the background. The color still looks odd.

   I will stick it out for a couple of weeks, but to me, the strip lost the beautiful art & dialog. I find it weird on the skin tones, & the lack of background appears “lazy” on the new persons side. What, did it take only 30 minutes to draw the strip? I have seen so many strips dumbed down when artists & authors change.

   Well, this is a shock! What happened to the beautiful artwork? Is this a spoof? Why the emphasis on salt & butter? Is this somebody new drawing the series? There is no beautiful background, detail or perspective in today’s strip. Why is Nancy sitting so far back? What is with the odd skin tones and basic line drawing? Who is the adult? If this is somebody new drawing the strip, are we going to get the old Nancy reruns to choose? Not a good first impression if somebody new is doing the strip.

    There is a sequel, but I believe that I read it at the robotsandquicksand site. It was very good. This time seemed a little shorter, but I think that new panels were added. I just love his artwork & storyline. I am into medieval sword & sorcery, and a big Skyrim RPG player, so this was right up my alley!
